We'll OOPS in ramoops_get_next_prz() if the platform didn't ask for any
ftrace zones (i.e., cxt->fprzs will be NULL). Let's just skip this
entire FTRACE section if there's no 'fprzs'.

This adds a check for a NULL platform data, which should only be possible
if a driver incorrectly sets up a probe request without also having defined
the platform_data structure. This is based on a patch from Geliang Tang.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know why it needs to copy the
input buffer to psinfo->buf and then write. Instead we can write the
input buffer directly. The only implementation that supports console
message (i.e. ramoops) already does it for ftrace messages.
For the upcoming virtio backend driver, it needs to protect psinfo->buf
overwritten from console messages. If it could use ->write_buf method
instead of ->write, the problem will be solved easily.

When update_ms is set, pstore_get_records() will be called when there's
a new entry. But unlink can be called at the same time and might
contend with the open-read-close loop. Depending on the implementation
of platform driver, it may be safe or not. But I think it'd be better
to protect those race in the first place.

Currently, pstore doesn't have any filters setup for function tracing.
This has the associated overhead and may not be useful for users looking
for tracing specific set of functions.
ftrace's regular function trace filtering is done writing to
tracing/set_ftrace_filter however this is not available if not requested.
In order to be able to use this feature, the support to request global
filtering introduced earlier in the series should be requested before
registering the ftrace ops. Here we do the same.

In preparation for merging the per CPU buffers into one buffer when
we retrieve the pstore ftrace data, we store the timestamp as a
counter in the ftrace pstore record. We store the CPU number as well
if !PSTORE_CPU_IN_IP, in this case we shift the counter and may lose
ordering there but we preserve the same record size. The timestamp counter
is also racy, and not doing any locking or synchronization here results
in the benefit of lower overhead. Since we don't care much here for exact
ordering of function traces across CPUs, we don't synchronize and may lose
some counter updates but I'm ok with that.
Using trace_clock() results in much lower performance so avoid using it
since we don't want accuracy in timestamp and need a rough ordering to
perform merge.

If the RAMOOPS_FLAG_FTRACE_PER_CPU flag is passed to ramoops pdata, split
the ftrace space into multiple zones depending on the number of CPUs.
This speeds up the performance of function tracing by about 280% in my
tests as we avoid the locking. The trade off being lesser space available
per CPU. Let the ramoops user decide which option they want based on pdata
flag.

Currently pstore has a global spinlock for all zones. Since the zones
are independent and modify different areas of memory, there's no need
to have a global lock, so we should use a per-zone lock as introduced
here. Also, when ramoops's ftrace use-case has a FTRACE_PER_CPU flag
introduced later, which splits the ftrace memory area into a single zone
per CPU, it will eliminate the need for locking. In preparation for this,
make the locking optional.

CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.
CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.
This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.
Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

The ramoops buffer may be mapped as either I/O memory or uncached
memory. On ARM64, this results in a device-type (strongly-ordered)
mapping. Since unnaligned accesses to device-type memory will
generate an alignment fault (regardless of whether or not strict
alignment checking is enabled), it is not safe to use memcpy().
memcpy_fromio() is guaranteed to only use aligned accesses, so use
that instead.

I have here a FPGA behind PCIe which exports SRAM which I use for

Since I doubt that there is much benefit from using cmpxchg() here, I am

A basic rmmod ramoops segfaults. Let's see why.
Since commit 34f0ec82e0a9 ("pstore: Correct the max_dump_cnt clearing of
ramoops") sets ->max_dump_cnt to zero before looping over ->przs but we
didn't use it before that either.
And since commit ee1d267423a1 ("pstore: add pstore unregister") we free
that memory on rmmod.
But even then, we looped until a NULL pointer or ERR. I don't see where
it is ensured that the last member is NULL. Let's try this instead:
simply error recovery and free. Clean up in error case where resources
were allocated. And then, in the free path, rely on ->max_dump_cnt in
the free path.

ramoops is one of the remaining places where ARM vendors still rely on
board-specific shims. Device Tree lets us replace those shims with
generic code.
These bindings mirror the ramoops module parameters, with two small
differences:
(1) dump_oops becomes an optional "no-dump-oops" property, since ramoops
sets dump_oops=1 by default.
(2) mem_type=1 becomes the more self-explanatory "unbuffered" property.

In ee1d267423a1 ("pstore: add pstore unregister") I added:
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
in both pstore_fs_type and pstore_file_operations to increase a reference
count when pstore filesystem is mounted and pstore file is opened.
But, it's repetitive. There is no need to increase the opened reference
count. We only need to increase the mounted reference count. When a file
is opened, the filesystem can't be unmounted. Hence the pstore module
can't be unloaded either.
So I drop the opened reference count in this patch.

Like zlib compression in pstore, this patch added lzo and lz4
compression support so that users can have more options and better
compression ratio.
The original code treats the compressed data together with the
uncompressed ECC correction notice by using zlib decompress. The
ECC correction notice is missing in the decompression process. The
treatment also makes lzo and lz4 not working. So I treat them
separately by using pstore_decompress() to treat the compressed
data, and memcpy() to treat the uncompressed ECC correction notice.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized
that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace
permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide
if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all.
Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could
be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of
proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and
sysfs. Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced.
There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement. Only filesystems
mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but
the test for empty directories was insufficient. So in my tree
directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are
created specially. Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary
directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and
shows that the directory is empty. Special creation of directories
for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about
it's purpose. I asked container developers from the various container
projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount
points on proc and sysfs that are created specially.
This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh
mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of
proc and sysfs. I expected this to be the boring part of the work but
unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of
proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags
on the previous mount of proc and sysfs. So for now only the atime,
read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep
consistent are enforced. Dealing with the noexec and nosuid
attributes remains for another time.
This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file
descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ns/* are displayed. Recently readlink of
/proc/<pid>/fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been
meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was
converted) and is not now actively wrong.
There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that
I will mention briefly.
It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount.
At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can
be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem. With user
namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created
allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename
to outside of the bind mount. This is challenging to fix and doubly
so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the
performance part of pathname resolution.
As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that
developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable
files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions
in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as
such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once
they are recognized"

proc: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mount points
sysctl: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mountpoints.
fs: Add helper functions for permanently empty directories.
vfs: Ignore unlocked mounts in fs_fully_visible
mnt: Modify fs_fully_visible to deal with locked ro nodev and atime
mnt: Refactor the logic for mounting sysfs and proc in a user namespace

This allows for better documentation in the code and
it allows for a simpler and fully correct version of
fs_fully_visible to be written.
The mount points converted and their filesystems are:
/sys/hypervisor/s390/ s390_hypfs
/sys/kernel/config/ configfs
/sys/kernel/debug/ debugfs
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ efivarfs
/sys/fs/fuse/connections/ fusectl
/sys/fs/pstore/ pstore
/sys/kernel/tracing/ tracefs
/sys/fs/cgroup/ cgroup
/sys/kernel/security/ securityfs
/sys/fs/selinux/ selinuxfs
/sys/fs/smackfs/ smackfs

If we set ramoops.mem_type=1 in command line, the current
code can not change mem_type to 1, because it is assigned
to 0 in function ramoops_register_dummy.
This patch make it possible to change mem_type parameter
in command line.

On some devices the persistent memory contains junk after a cold boot,
and /dev/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-* are created with random data which is
not the result of a kernel crash.
This patch adds a ramoops header check and skips any
persistent_ram_zone that does not have a valid header.

The value of cxt->record_size does not change in the loop,
so this patch optimize the assign statement by dropping
sz entirely and using cxt->record_size in its place.

This patch update the module parameter backend, so it is visible
through /sys/module/pstore/parameters/backend.
For example:
if pstore backend is ramoops, with this patch:
# cat /sys/module/pstore/parameters/backend
ramoops
and without this patch:
# cat /sys/module/pstore/parameters/backend
(null)

pstore_compress() uses static stream buffer for zlib-deflate which
easily crashes when several concurrent threads use one shared state.
